CATDOLL: Chinese post-90s short animation "Fairy in the Painting" was shortlisted for the Tampere International Film Festival in Finland

A short animation produced by a post-90s graduate from China was shortlisted for the Tampere International Film Festival in Finland and was successfully exhibited.

The shortlisted work is called "Fairy in the Painting", which is the graduation work of Yin Haoran, a girl born in the 1990s. In order to make the story more complete, Yin Haoran and her two classmates read a lot of information on this subject, and also referred to the scripts of "Painted Skin" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Yin Haoran said, "We plan to tell a story about past lives and reincarnation. We thought of several plots, but we were afraid that the story line would be too complicated, so we made appropriate deletions." "Learning animation is not a static accumulation of knowledge, but a matter of students focusing on the industry's expertise and improving their performance. I chose stop-motion animation because I love it and my interest supports me to move forward."

Yin Haoran also said that she believes the most important thing about the successful experiences of predecessors is to be able to learn from and integrate them innovatively to create a professional path that suits her.

"The Fairy in the Painting" tells the story of a woman who was framed by her lover and turned into a ghost. She was then imprisoned in a painting by a Taoist priest. A hundred years later, she was liberated by love. Although this animation is only 6 minutes long, it took more than a year to shoot it.
